I can’t cope

@Captain24 she definitely wouldn't be thinking you've forgotten her sweet. But i can understand your feelings sweet and they are completely valid. Hugs to you sweetheart ❤️.

Hoping you hear from your psych soon too.

Hey @Captain24

Just wanted to send you all my best wishes and some virtual hugs.

I bet your baby is receiving the best possible care.

There is NO WAY, she thinks you have forgotten her! She will soon be back in your loving arms.

I know it's stressful, gut-wrenching and no words can probably make it feel any better.

Just know you're not alone and your forums fam are thinking of you during this tough time.

💝

Thanks @hopeful_hannah

Im just shattered that she is still there. At least this time they are making sure she is ready to go home. Im praying she is well enough tomorrow. I’m suppose to go back to work on Wednesday but I guess I am going to have to call in sick for the 5 days. I was already thinking about it but if in do get her home tomorrow I can’t leave her the very next day.

It’s really taking a toll on me. It’s just adding more mess to my mess that was there before she got sick.

Just catching up here @Captain24 and I'm so sorry to hear that little Pix hasn't been well! It's an awful feeling to have your pets away from you, but it sounds like she's getting the best care. I'm thinking of both of you and hoping she's back safe in your arms tomorrow 💜

Completely understandable you are stressed @Captain24

Pix is your baby. Unknown and uncertainty is always scary and stressful.

Pix won’t have forgotten about you. If she could talk I wouldn’t be surprised that she is thankful for taking her to the vet. Honestly doubt she would blame you either, if that is a concern.

sounds like she’s in good hands with the vet. I know that’s cold comfort.

could hugging something that has Pix scent/smell on it maybe bring you some comfort? Sorry if that would upset you more

some pets and owners find it beneficial for both for pet parent to contact the vet and arrange time to go and spend time with their four footed baby. I did that years ago when one of cats was at the vet with unknown timeline how long for.

sending Pix lots of healing vibes.

Hey @Ru-bee

She is really unwell. They are still trying to get her pancreatitis under control and worried about how small of a dose her insulin will be. Apparently as it’s a low dose it comes with high risks. So they are being very careful. Plus she has to be monitored closely for the next few weeks. As her pancreas heals she may need less. It’s all hard to know.

Poor Jett isn’t coping either. The house is so different without her. Jett actually played for a little bit today for the first time since I put her in hospital on Friday.

I wasn’t coping before all of this. I was really struggling with life, the holiday didn’t really help much and now this and stressing about my baby that I thought I might lose is making things so much harder.

Im suppose to have a psych appointment tomorrow but I can’t afford it and I have emailed to cancel but she hasn’t read her emails yet and I’m scared that without receiving the notice that she won’t be able to cancel. I need that appointment badly but just don’t have the money. Pix is costing a lot!

I have Jett to hold, plus I have washed all the beds and stuff with her smell on it as they were all full of sand and I wanted them clean. @Flutterbug9. So I don’t really have much. I have been hugging my weighted plushie as well.

I think it’s best if I don’t go and see her just yet. I don’t want her to think I’m taking her home and leave her there again. She is being looked after. They do a really good job there. She would have been having some cuddles if she hasn’t been too snappy.

Im just hoping she is home tomorrow. But it also comes with a great deal of stress.

@Captain24 @AlwaysMyself My eyes picked up on mention of clothes.

It reminded me of something my mum used to say “only thing that matters is that it’s clean, washed and paid for”

😆

when I see people wearing ‘different clothing’ I remind myself, I don’t know their story, their life or their background and their decisions have no impact on me. There are so many possibles for people wearing ‘different clothing’

understandable your concern

I have confidence in you @Captain24 that you will do 100% with taking care of Pix when she’s home.

Pix will be in good safe hands with you, same as she always has been 💛

hang in there. Shout out on the forums anytime you need to. You are not alone, community is here for you

Yeah I bet it'd be hard for Jett too @Captain24 but it's good to hear that he was able to play a little. I bet he'll be so happy to see his sister home.

You did the right thing in emailing your psych so there's evidence of you trying to get in touch. Did you mention why you need to cancel? Many psychs might be open to discussing different payment options if you need. Perhaps it would be worth seeing if they could still accommodate you this time due to the circumstances
